Reading about fraud is always upsetting, but reading about charity fraud is downright infuriating.
When the already-impoverished nation of Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake in 2010, people around the world opened their checkbooks to donate money to the reconstruction of the country. Among the recipients of these generous donations was the Red Cross, who pledged to help the people of Haiti get back on their feet with the millions of dollars given to them.
Yet five years after launching LAMIKA, a project named after a Creole acronym for “A Better Life In My Neighborhood” and meant to build hundreds of homes in Port-Au-Prince, only six homes have been built across the entire country, forcing citizens to continue dwelling in shacks without water, electricity or basic sanitation and regular flooding. In short, the Red Cross has delivered far less than it promised not just to it’s donors, but to the people it claimed it would help as well.

What did that cost them to build a couple hundred thousand and $450,000,000. In executive fees ?
Had to put a little in their own pockets first !!
That’s the #1 I don’t ever donate to!! What actually makes it to the cause is like 14%!!!!
THAT MONEY BELONGS TO AMERICAN VET’S .
Corruption..!!
This is the reason I no longer support these kinds of efforts..the people the money was sent for don’t get it. Shameful!!!
Clinton must be in control of Red Cross .
Salvation Army is the best charity organization. I volunteer there.
Red Cross sucks, one of the worst
Red Cross crooks! I refuse to give to them since 9/11!!!
